Eight Years of Outrage: The most apalling snapshot of the Bush years.....

[marmar]

Of the many outrages during *'s tenure, what's the one that outraged you the most?

[knitter4democracy]

1. I voted for Hurricane Katrina, but really, all of the above infuriate me.

Katrina because it's entirely within his job description to prepare for that and fix it and he ate cake and has done not one damn thing to fix anything.

Honestly, I'm so sick and tired of those *(&#ERs that I can't wait for them all to be gone!

[geckosfeet]

2. A lot of these are interelated - for example - politicization of justice had

to be done in order to rig internal investigations and to prevent independent investigations from being launched. This in turn made it possible to break laws with impunity.

[midnight]

8. I agree.

[onehandle]

3. None of the rest would have happened without the stolen election. nt

[MadashellLynn]

16. You took the words right out of my mouth.

I was going to post that if the Bush pigfarmers hadn't been allowed by the Supreme court to disregard the will and votes of the American people, we would have had eight years of the Gore administration to comment on. Can you imagine the difference? I can, and it sure makes me hate those ratfucks on the supreme court who voted Bush in. I lay the dead from 9-11, the Iraq war, Katrina, and everyone who will die from the impact of global warming who could have been saved if we had taken steps about the climate sooner at their feet. I hope they never have a peaceful nights sleep that isn't filled with the faces of those lost because of the evil fucks they put in power.

4. Other: outrage fatigue prevents me from even trying to rank all that unholy suckage. nt

[Eurobabe]

5. That snot-nosed little frat boy ever became PREZ in the first place!

[Turbineguy]

6. Abu Ghraib

The most damaging aspect of all this mess as it really undermined whatever moral authority the US had. The Iraq war was clearly a Bush operation (and everybody already knew he was a liar and an idiot) and possible because of the natural flaws in a democratic system.

The world saw the soldiers tormenting the prisoners and saw ordinary Americans.

7. I'm surprised to see the low totals for 9/11.

Lots of votes for Iraq, but that never had a snowball's chance in hell of actually gaining public approval - however long that might have lasted - until 9/11. September 11 was the catalyst, the thing that kept the people from limiting his time in office to four years, or shorter.

[peekaloo]

12. Agreed.

just looking at this poll makes me think a snowball does have a chance in Hell considering the avalanche after 9/11.

[DireStrike]

22. It wasn't ENTIRELY predictable.

Highly so perhaps. But incompetence is not seen as being as bad as malice and evil.

[sub.theory]

9. Other: Refusal to act on global warming

I know there are just so many choices to choose from when deciding on the worst moment of the Bush administration. However, I think history will most hate him for his absolute refusal to act on global warming and his politicization of science. If global warming is even half as bad as some of these climate experts are saying it will endanger the lives of millions through drought and famine,and devastate ecological diversity on our planet. There are even some scientists who are saying it's already too late to act, and we are locked into global warming.

10. I relive the 2000 election to this day. Without that criminal act, none of this

would have been possible.

That was the first BIG step to 8 years of treason. And the dems didn't have the guts or the fortitude to demand justice and the return to the rule of law under the Consitution.

The first cut is the deepest don't they say?

14. The one where he hugs the easter bunny's wife!

nuff said!

I used it for my only youtube vid that I made:

15. Iraq, because that took more time, effort and dedication to make happen than the other crimes

[lonestarnot]

17. Every fucking one of them, but I can only vote once! So I'll pass!

[AlCzervik]

18. 2,3, and 4 based on the death toll. The rest of them are also horrible but the lives

lost under this administration are going to be a terrible legacy on our country forever.

[Earth_First]

19. Other:

The American leader, who has been condemned throughout his presidency for failing to tackle climate change, ended a private meeting with the words: "Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter."

He then punched the air while grinning widely, as the rest of those present including Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy looked on in shock.

[MadrasT]

20. I'm over the top outraged by most of the items on that list...

but I voted for the first one. All the other BS started with that motherfucking stolen election.

How can you have a democracy when the elections are rigged? It all goes downhill after that.

[DireStrike]

21. 2004 stolen election.

I wonder how the economy would be now if Kerry had been in control... a lot of this was building even then. Perhaps it could have been caught earlier instead of simply waiting, as bush did, till it festered and burst.

[Morning Dew]

23. It has to be the theft of the 2000 election

without that, the others don't follow.
